After feeling like she cheated cancer and isn't enough for ex, Alison finds herself playing the role of girlfriend at her ex's funeral. Determined to pull of the role, she finds herself volunteering to pack up her dead ex's apartment with his best friend, Adam. No problem, she can keep up the facade for a few more weeks... Right?

Ultimately this is a story about identity and guilt. Alison is attempting to be deserving of her life now that she's mitigated her cancer risk. Adam is trying to make up for a fight that will never get resolved. Both are trying their hardest but can see straight through the other. It's easy to give advice when it's not your own life.

Overall I really enjoyed this book! I enjoyed the complicated and non-linear journey Alison went on. I loved how her friends both had her back and weren't afraid to call her out. The romance was a slow build (I mean, he is her dead ex's best friend) and had the perfect amount of yearning. And the best part is that it balanced the emotional parts with humor very well.

Thank you to Penguin Group Putnam for providing me with an arc for an honest review.
